Canoeing the The Pontcysllte Aqueduct

Not much room for overtalking on top of ths high Aqueduct in Trevor, Wales. Canoeing on the Llangollen Canal must always be a rewarding experience especially in one of these Canadian-style canoes. Not for the faint hearted though :)

Yes this is a really vertigo inducing aqueduct. We have seen people freezing, unable to move, having to be helped back to the safety of the beginning.. Personally I don't mind crossing over on the pathway - unless it is windy.

Herb Riddle replied to Amelia:

I know what you mean Amelia. We had no trouble crossing it both ways but some people would not notice the first step. I don't know if it is any more frightening on the canoes but we did see some f the canoeist dragging themselves along using that right hand edge here. A long way down over that bit. Yes wind would make it worse for walkers.

Enjoy the weekend. Herb

Yes it is a great pastime and sport. My wife and I have only canoed down the River Lot and Dordogne in France. A wonderful experience.

Beautifully captured Herb........the light is lovely and I like the colours and distorted reflections.

It doesn't sound like my sort of place.........heights are not for me ;-(

Not for everyone that is clear. Great that you enjoyed it all the same my friend. Those contrasty water reflections always look good to me too.
